People often ask me, why did you call your group Got Mittens? Well, here’s the reason why...

Gary was a great guy, moderator for Got Mittens, friend, collector and all round good guy. Sadly, died Feb 2019, taken far too soon. RIP mate, will raise a glass to you tonight and think about all the good natured banter we shared online.

Ok, here's the script. This group is about sharing of knowledge and helping fellow buckle collectors. It is not for profiteering. @george feindel posted a Postchutz buckle here for sale for $850 whereas it was on his dealer website for $500. He was questioned about it, had the chance to explain or adjust, he did not. That really goes against the spirit of this group, it is NOT acceptable... @george feindelis no longer welcome here. Also banned from our FB group too...

Welcome back to the true home of Got Mittens. No censorship, no deleting profiles, just sharing knowledge and our mutual love of collecting German buckles.. Onwards and upwards…

Welcome to the Got Mittens web forum... earky days, but it's work in progress.

This is the last thing he sent me via Messenger, for some reason, the entire conversation, and all correspondence is gone...

Nice, I'm going along .... waiting for display and educational things to happen and appear so I can fill them up with what I have to offer. ( educational) not selling.

Should there be a topic / forum on here for any dodgy or fake sales that are spotted to warn everyone not to buy? Just wondering as that would be useful to us newbies who could possibly get stung by unscrupulous dealers.

Definetly a place for it, let me think where though...

Looks like some FB monkey is really upset with you!

I think we should start threads or sub-forums for Lufty Monday, SAturday, SSunday, etc. where we can post random photos of our collection that don't deserve an own thread? My contribution for LUFTschutz monday:

@Lenny Warren Lufty Monday Heer Friday SA Saturday SS Sunday Tuesday and Wed are free for all 😁

What a great idea ❤❤😎

Just finding my way around here.. early days for me too!! 👍👍

Ok already checked it with the PC and works fine. Will check tonight if there is any security breach or something.

Yeah, it's a complete pain. The forum is so much better, but hardly anyone will use it. FB has made us all lazy...

I’m willing to give the forum a go mate. Really pissed off with Facebook about this🤬

He was supposed to go to the SOS that year and we were going to meet up there. He wanted me to bring him a large bottle of Louisiana hot sauce for him to take back with him. Definitely miss our talks.

I voted "new style" but have no idea of the difference with the "actual" one LOL

Have they given a reason for the takedown? Just asking as I’m in a couple of German Bayonet groups on FB and they appear to have been running for ages, and don’t get shut down?!?

Anyone still here? 😉

Enter the information as to what the topic is about, then below, enter any information and photo's you would like to share.. and keep going in that area. just be sure you have the right sub forum for that topic, Heer, Luft, etc; when finished with that buckle, enter submit, and just do the same for the next buckle as a 'Reply to topic' for your database..

Hi again, I'm lost on this forum outlay ... can't manage to find how to do anything except reply to a post ... 😞 Can someone, to start , create a "pinned" post for 1847 / 50mm buckles ? I will then post pictures with text / information... on the subject. Something like a photo gallery ? Possible ? Marc

Great guy. Missed. RIP

Thanks Lenny !! G
